Momentum is among the most popular platforms of emerging choreographic talent in the Twin Cities. Featuring two new works each evening, the series highlights an exciting next generation of dance creators.
Past performances have been described as representing “the diversity and strength of Twin Cities dance” where, with a “sense of trained, intentional risk, this shared moment of vulnerability and confidence speaks loudly to the hours and energy that all the choreographers and dancers … invested to get here” (Mn Artists).
The series is presented by the Cowles Center for Dance & the Performing Arts, in partnership with the Walker Art Center and the Southern Theater.
Meet the Artists at post-show discussions on Fridays.
